a FIGHT.-Regioter of Wills Dorsey Clag-
EFT, Mr.. S. II. Walker and Mr.. Brooke
Mackall were in the corridor of the City
Hall, in Washington, yesterday morning,
when the conversation turned on the ap-
pointment and confirmation of Mr.. Clagett,
and the discussion became quite exciting.
Mr.. Clagett, unable to restrain his temper,
hit Mr. Mackall blow in the left eye and
knocked him against Sergeant Trunnel, who
happened to conN in at that moment. The
police officer instantly stopped the fight
Mr.. Clagett, it seems, charged Mackall with
villifying his character before Senator Spoon
er, when Clagett's nomination was before
the Senate committee.

Mr.. ALAPAps INAUGURATION

Last evenings Bulletin conveys the
astonishing information that the Now
Road Supervisor, Mr.. Alapai, had
stopped work on Liliha street. This
brings to mind at once the story Of the
London aldermen met to consider a
matter Of street paving, when one Of
them said, "Just let us lay our heads
together and the thing will be done
The question in the case of Liliha
street is, 'What blockheads came into
conjunction to produce the decision
above mentioned Surely it could
not have been "by and with the adj
vice" Of the Minister Of the Interior
Mr.. Aholo must have more common
sense than to connive at such a stupid
piece of business. Mr.. Keau, one OF
the representatives of Honolulu, did
good service for his constituents in the
Legislature by securing special
appropriation for Liliha- street. The
work having been begun, it is an in
tolerable piece Of ofiiciousness for the
Road Supervisor to stop operations.
1t would have been bad enough to let
the period elapse without doing any
thing to that street But TO stop work
after large section Of the substructure
Of the road had been built is to throw
money away in making the street worse
than ever before. During the recent
rains the newly built portion of the
road let carriages down to the hubs in
its soft material, but with a well rolled
layer of metal so much of the thor
oughfare would be good for years.
Even that done might give some show
OF decency to the abandonment of the
street This is Mr. Alapai's inaugural
exhibit of capacity for the important
position into which he has been thrust.
Well, save the city from more of Mr..
Alapai's administration of the road
moneys!

THE STAR LIVERY STABLES.

The Star Livery Stables of Mr..
B. +. Pickett, is one OF the land
marks of Scranton, and it is u
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted up, cleaned, whitewashed and
otherwise put in order as though
no financial depression had ever
been felt in u community.
Through all the flOancial v%icissi-
tudes of the past seventeen years
the Star Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in confOrmi-
ty with surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat and clean Offices, warmed
by stove in winter, prompt atten-
ton night and day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. Mr.. Pickett
has now, in connection with his
stables a nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice as can be had in any country
town, which he has fitted up so that
our people may enjoy the luxury Of
a decent burial. With these re1ec-
tons it must be seen that this insti-
tuition Is IA public benefit, and de-
serves the support of tho citizens.
